Whether just for oil changes or general work on your cars, I'm guessing most people put on at least a different shirt than risk messing up their street clothes. How bad does it have to get, with rips, tears and stains before you get rid of it? Or go out in public wearing it? This Mercedes golf shirt is approaching the end with many holes and light oil stains, and I wont go anywhere wearing it. How bad does your repair wear have to get before tossing it?
How worn and stained does a car repair shirt have to get before you toss it?

You're going to need five days worth of whiskers and four missed haircuts to go out in public with that one.
Maybe also flip flops.

My car repair clothes don't leave the house. Some never get washed. My old RAV4 had a transaxle leak that needed topping off on the regular basis. Gear oil stinks and it wasn't going to contaminate my washing machine. I had a special sweatshirt that I wore that stayed in the garage.
Yea, but I'm not from Alabama.
I will wash a stained shirt but I'm not allowed to put it in the dryer. That shirt has miles left in it. That shirt would last another 32 years. (two generations in Alabama.) Flame suit on.
You can put it in a bucket and soak it in Purple Power overnight.
And that somehow fixes the holes?
Yes a 22 year old from Harvard invented a powder you add to regular Laundry Soap that miraculously bonds fibers together . It's taking the world by storm . I saw it advertised on Youtube .
Says the guy from D.C…..that R&R’s parts in his kitchen!Yea, but I'm not from Alabama.
Holes in a shirt improve its sweat evaporating capability. Also adds 2HP to the wearer.
Does your shirt look better if you turn it inside out?
Then nobody would see Mercedes-Benz on it.
I don't think I've ever had a shirt get bad enough that I would have tossed it of my own volition(and I do all the laundry now)...
I've lost a lot of weight over the past ~4 years, and have retired some of my older ones because they were loose enough that they were just a pain/uncomfortable to work in, but that's pretty much it.
I'd probably toss one when it got to the point of having holes big enough worry me(safety wise).
The shirt in the OP-I'd probably not think twice about wearing it to Autozone or another parts store on a parts run(my wife might think differently) especially if it was a middle-of-the-job trip.
